NoMethodError: undefined method `run' for "unit/TestTestName.rb" when running testsuite in ruby - ruby

Question

I want to write a testsuite to run my unit tests in ruby. So far I have come up with:
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'test/unit/testsuite'
class RunTests
def self.Run(arg)
test_suite = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new("All ATP Tests")
test_suite << 'unit/TestName1.rb'
test_suite << 'unit/TestName2.rb'
test_suite << 'unit/TestName3.rb'
arg used here in env setup
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner::new(test_suite).start
end
end
the tests all have the structure:
require 'test/unit'
class TestCalssName < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
end
def test_testcasename
end
def teardown
end
end
When I test the runner out in irb I get an error about undefined method run within a testcase:
irb(main):002:0> RunTests::Run("-env=qa-old")
Loaded suite All ATP Tests

I tried putting a run method into the testcases but I still get the error (the exact same error about the run method being undefined). Am I missing something?

check if you're not calling run instead of Run, as Ruby is case-sensitive this might be the problem. We need the source code of "unit/TestTestName.rb" to get a better understanding of the problem.
EDIT
You are adding your TestCases as strings, like this :
test_suite << 'unit/TestName1.rb'
Since "unit/TestName1.rb" is a String, it has no run method that Ruby can call.
Ruby is expecting TestSuite objects in your test_suite object instead of Strings.
From Ruby Doc:
suite() :
Rolls up all of the test* methods in the fixture into one suite,
creating a new instance of the fixture for each method.
Instead, you should:
require on all your TestNameX.rb file
Add each TestCase to your TestSuite using the suite
It should be something like this:
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
require 'test/unit/testsuite'
require 'unit/TestName1.rb'
require 'unit/TestName2.rb'
class RunTests
def self.Run(arg)
test_suite = Test::Unit::TestSuite.new("All ATP Tests")
test_suite << TestClassName1.suite
test_suite << TestClassName2.suite
arg used here in env setup
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner::new(test_suite).start
end
end
I am not sure about the TestRunner::new(test_suite).start, try:
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run(test_suite)
Feel free to have a look at the Ruby documentation
Test::Unit Test Suite
